Enforcement of Family Court Orders

Work With An Experienced Monmouth Family Lawyer

Dealing with a former spouse who fails to comply with the provisions set
up in a court order can be extremely frustrating. Often these refusals
place the emotional, financial and medical well-being of your family in
jeopardy. At
The Law Offices of O'Toole & Gunteski, LLC, you will find our compassionate
family law attorneys dedicated to helping you protect and maintain your rights in
an enforcement dispute.

Motion to Enforce Litigant's Rights

If you are having difficulties getting your former spouse to pay the fully mandated
child support and / or
alimony, you can petition the court for assistance. This requires you a file a
motion to enforce litigant's rights. If your petition is granted,
your former spouse will be found to be in contempt of court.

If your former spouse is found to be in contempt, he or she will be ordered
to pay the owed amount, usually with a fine attached. Jail time is also
possible for continued willful disobedience. If the original court order
did not include income withholding, this may be enacted. A portion of
your former spouse's assets may also be awarded to you.

The family court is a complex and overloaded system full of pitfalls for
the unprofessional.
Having your motion denied because of a preventable technicality is potentially
devastating. Our skilled New Jersey
divorce lawyers utilize their combined fifty years of experience to guide you
through the process.
